Angry Presidency blasts APC for accusing Jonathan of plotting Lagos rigging

The Presidency has reacted angrily to an allegation by the All Progressives Congress that President Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to Lagos on Thursday was part of a plot to rig Saturday’s gubernatorial election in the state.
The APC’s spokesperson, Lai Muhammed, had on Friday said that Mr. Jonathan visited the nation’s commercial capital to fashion ways of rigging the election in favour of candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party.

The Peoples Democratic Party had earlier condemned the APC’s allegation, wondering why the party should accuse the president when the president-elect, Mr. Buhari, who is its leader, had visited several states to support APC’s governorship candidates, without anyone accusing him of plotting to rig elections.
